SAS has cancelled more than 1,200 flights since July 4 when talks with many of its pilots over a new collective bargaining agreement collapsed and they launched the crippling strike
. “What has now happened is that we have asked the parties to gather in Stockholm from Wednesday,” Swedish mediator Jan Sjolin said.
Spokespeople for SAS and the Norwegian and Swedish pilot unions also confirmed the talks will resume but declined to elaborate on the content or expected outcome. The loss-making carrier has estimated the strike, now in its ninth day, is costing $10-million to $13-million a day. Pedersen, when asked about the biggest point of contention, pointed to the rehiring and said pilots want to ensure that SAS does not just create new subsidiaries after entering into an agreement.
